PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dick Diaz (ranked 2344 p4p, 257 weight class) and Padraig McNamara (ranked 2704 p4p, 284 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diaz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Feiticeira. McNamara is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kung liligaya ka sa piling ng iba. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
